Malaysia Premier Najib Queried by Anti-Graft Agency on Donations - Bloomberg Business:
"Malaysia’s Prime Minister Najib Razak was queried by anti-graft officials on the hundreds of millions of dollars that ended up in his private accounts before the 2013 general elections.
Najib was cooperative during the questioning on Saturday in a meeting that lasted 2 1/2 hours, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission said in a statement. It didn’t provide further details.
The premier, 62, has said the 2.6 billion ringgit ($616 million) of funds in accounts that have since been closed were political donations from the Middle East rather than public money. That was also the initial conclusion reached by the commission in August in its preliminary investigations. Najib has denied taking money for personal gain and has been cited as saying that the funds were to meet the needs of the party and the community, and that this was not a new practice."
